East Kentucky's Apostolic Network
Prison Ministry
Cornerstone Apostolic Church is active in prison ministry. Pastor McKinney was contacted by the staff at Big Sandy USP, Inez, Kentucky, a maximum security federal facility, on August 20, 2008, to see if Pastor McKinney would be interested in conducting periodic services at the facility. How the staff and inmates came to know about Bro. McKinney and Cornerstone Apostolic Church was through the weekly radio broadcast, The Apostolic Voice Of Phelps, aired each Sunday on WQHY-FM 95.5 in Prestonsburg, Kentucky. Many of the staff and inmates are faithful listeners to the radio broadcast.
After the first visit in December 2008, and the overwhelming response of about 130+ who attended the Service, Bro. McKinney made a commitment to be in service with the guys at Big Sandy, USP once a month as schedules permit.
Since that first service, Pastor McKinney has had the humble experience of ministering the Gospel of Jesus Christ to many within the facility. Continue to pray for the staff and their families, the inmates and their families, and Bro. McKinney, as this work continues.
Recently, Cornerstone Apostolic Church purchased 150 KJV Bibles and donated them to the facility to be given to the inmates who don't have a Bible. Upon hearing about this venture, others started to show interest in donating to help make this possible. The Phelps Veterans of Foreign Wars, located in Phelps Kentucky wanted to get involved so they donated $100.00 toward the purchase of the Bibles. Bro. McKinney presented the Phelps VFW with a letter of appreciation. Later, Pastor Mike Stocks who pastors Harvest Pentecostal Church located in Thomasville, NC donated $200.00 to help with the cost of the Bibles. Bro. McKinney was in Thomasville, NC on April 21, 2008 to receive this donation. Bro. McKinney presented Bro. Stocks and the church with a letter of appreciation and a certificate of appreciation.
We appreciate those who have gotten involved with helping purchase these Bibles for the inmates.
